Most, but not all, Mountain ranges are forest lined. Most of those are BLM/STATE/ or National Forest and not for sale. You can live up against, or even in, but to find land that is completely in forest is going to be very tough. The mountain ranges depend on what you want for elevation.


The mountain ranges below are listed by name, county, coordinates, and average elevation as recorded the by U.S. Geological Survey. Sub-ranges are indented below the name of the primary range. Some of these ranges extend into Colorado, Montana, Idaho, and Utah.

From what I recall in Lander, the forested/mountainous areas are also not open year round (road wise, though I'm sure snow-machine users would beg to differ. ) is this the case in other areas with lots of habitable tree areas? I know you can drive through the mountains/trees to Jackson/Moose/Yellowstone area...but are side roads open?

In the Big Horn Mountains, the major highways are kept open. From those, you can access parking areas to unload snowmobiles and go where you want to. Some County roads are also kept open up in the Big Horns.

Camping in the Big Horns west of Buffalo (Tiehack Res area) these last few months, I saw that the concessionaire for the campgrounds has signs posted that the close at the end of Sept for the season. While the county may clear the roads, the off-county roads into the camping areas aren't plowed and the campgrounds had posts with chains or gates to keep people out during the off-season.

There are places with lots of trees but from what I can tell they're mostly on public land in National Forests and parks and stuff. I live in Pinedale (Sublette County) and there are plenty of nice trees in town but for real forests you have to go into the Wind River or Wyoming mountain range...can't really "live" totally surrounded by trees out here, it seems.

Hi everyone. My first post on this forum.

To the OP. Is this what you were looking for?

I have been reading a lot about Wyoming on this forum I am researching and planning to relocate to Wyoming in the future. I was researching Pinedale (Sublette County) real estate companies and came across a cabin overlooking Fremont Lake and in the Sylvan Bay Summer Home. Surrounded by Pine and Aspen Tress. I have heard you can own a cabin like this one and lease the land from the Forest Service for 20 years is this true.

I will be asking a lot more questions about Wyoming in the future.

Thanks for your answers

Scott

those inholding and leases don't come up very often they are held really tight.

there are properties in Star Valley that are all timbered , and tree lots in some subdivisions next to the forest.

I remember the "culture shock" moving from Minnesota, which is fairly green and /or tree filled to the desert-sagebrush-cactus of Wyoming...even though in town there were trees, and up in the mountains, the places in between were, to my untrained eyes, barren. Having since been back to visit, it does take a bit of getting used to...but still Wyoming is what it is, and beautiful regardless of whether or not there are forests dotting the landscape.
